APRIL’S$100 WINNER

A WILL TO SUCCEEDFirst Nati onal Real Estate Nerang Principal Mike Gray says under the recently introduced Intestacy Laws, millions of Australians risk cheati ng their loved ones out of a fortune in property if they neglect to implement the right type of asset protecti on.

“Around 5 million or 40% of Australians are without a current will which means if they are part of a blended or molded family, the intended inheritors may fi nd themselves out in the cold due to recent amendments to the Success Amendment (Intestacy) Bill 2009,” Mike said.

“Aft er all their hard work to build a property portf olio, they run the risk of letti ng their families lose a lot of it to legal fees and death taxes, or worse sti ll, be administered in a way that they never intended which may no longer be appropriate.

“All because they don’t have a will clearly setti ng out their wishes in relati on to their hard-earned real estate assets.”

Mike said the legislati ve changes were driven by changes in our society, where families have become more complex, due mainly to the high number of divorces, second marriages and new de-facto relati onships.

“Simply breaking up an estate on someone’s death and distributi ng it among surviving family does not necessarily provide the best outcomes for the family,” Mike said.

“Under the new legislati on, spouses or partners of people who have not made Wills, will receive 100 per cent of their estate upon death and children will not benefi t.

“This does not bode well for a lot of people with blended and molded families, and has the potenti al to leave a lot of distraught, unhappy family members behind, potenti ally resulti ng in hugely expensive, protracted court cases where no-one comes out a winner.

“It may see the family home of a man sti ll legally married to his fi rst wife while living in another de facto

relati onship with children, going to his wife instead of his current family.”

Having worked in the area for a number of years First Nati onal Real Estate Nerang, has forged strong relati onships with local fi nancial planners who are able to help their clients with the appropriate advice and support to ensure they have a Will to Succeed where their legacy is left to the people they want.

First-up buyers home in on CoastTHE Gold Coast’s reputation as the promised land for fi rst home buyers is strengthening.

New statistics show the Gold Coast is the region of choice for buyers, notching up the highest regional sales in the country in 2009.

Despite the January cut-back of the Federal Government’s First Home Buyer grant, experts say the Gold Coast prospects for buyers remain healthy.

REIQ Gold Coast chairman John Newlands said 2010 sales were expected to be strong but would not come close to 2009’s fi gures.

He said the growing northern corridor was still the biggest hotspot for fi rst home buyers

but older homes in CBD areas, including Southport, were also popular.

AUSTRALIAN house prices will not implode because our market is different to overseas markets and their rules don’t apply here, a local economist says.

Commonwealth Bank senior economist Michael Workman said comments made by US fi nancial commentator Edward Chancellor that Australia was in the midst of an unsustainable housing bubble wrongly assumed Australia is like US or the UK.

Mr Chancellor, a published author who is believed to have been among the fi rst to predict the Global Financial Crisis, estimates Australian house prices are more than 50% above their fair value - a once in 40-year event.

“If house prices were to revert to their historic long-term average (ratio of average price to average

income) they would fall quite considerably,” Mr Chancellor told The Australian.

“It’s the rising interest rates, particularly with real estate bubbles, that tend to generate the collapse,” he said.

But Mr Workman said patterns in the US and UK housing markets did not apply here.

“The story about house prices falling tends to be pushed pretty strongly from overseas groups in particular because they don’t understand the growth outlook here and the under-supply of dwellings,” he said.

“They tend to transpose what’s been going on in the US and the UK to the Australian housing market and they are not applicable.

“The stories make a good headline but they just don’t apply.”

Mr Workman said Australia’s unique situation of strong population growth, a housing shortage, low unemployment and historically low interest rates would keep house prices high.

“We just went through a period where interest rates were quite high here and that did slow the housing market down, it stablised it,” Mr Workman said.

“But these large price falls people talk about really need a rise in unemployment to occur and at this stage the markets are heading in the other direction. And we’ll still have an undersupply of dwellings in the next few years, not an oversupply.”

House price implosion claims ridiculous, says local economist

Interest rates to hit renters hard

INTEREST rate rises during the next two years is going to hit tenants hard as the cost of escalating mortgage payments is passed on to tenants.

TENANTS can expect to pay out an extra $5 billion or more in the next two years as landlords push up rents to cover spiralling mortgage costs.

Property analyst Residex and the country’s biggest real estate chain Ray White say the Reserve Bank’s lifting of interest rates is fl owing straight through to the rental market.

A shortage of available properties and increased population are adding to the rate pressure, with weekly rents expected to rise between $40 and $100 in the next two years.

“Every force in the marketplace

will be driving rents higher,’’ Ray White director Ben White says.

“The mortgages of rental property owners are becoming more expensive, so it’s inevitable that this will result in rents going up,’’ White says.

There are about 2 million rental properties in Australia and if rents increase an average of 7 per cent it will push them up by about $20 a week this year, according to Ray White. However, property analyst Residex paints a bleaker picture.

It experts rents to rise more rapidly, predicting Sydney will be hardest hit, with rents expected to be $108 a week higher in two years, while Melbourne rents are expected to be $71 a week more expensive by 2012.

Rents in the other states are all forecast to be higher by more than $40 a week within the next two years, Residex chief executive John Edwards says.

A rise of $50 a week is forecast in Hobart; $47 in Adelaide and $46 in ACT.

“It’s a perfect storm because while rents are rising,

tenants are suffering but in most cases the increases in rents won’t be enough to cover the higher mortgage repayments,’’ Mr Edwards says.

Although landlords can offset some losses against other income tax through negative gearing, they can only claim back an amount equivalent to their marginal tax rate. And the expected rise in rents will increase the number of tenants in ``rental stress’’ by about 50 per cent, according to Martin North, director at Fujitsu Consulting.

North expects the number of people who struggle to pay their rent to increase from 44,000 to 66,000.

CHILD-PROOF YOUR HOMEChildren are always at risk of injury, but never more so than in the family home. According to Mike Gray from First National Real Estate Nerang there are many simple measures that can be taken to prevent simple accidents, often with far-reaching and serious long-term effects, from occurring in the home.

“It’s a simple case of taking a critical view of objects around your home and understanding where the potentials for hazards are,” Mike said.

“Take the time to get down and crawl around the home so that you can see for yourself where curious hands and adventurous spirits might roam.”

While child proofi ng the home is important for families, investors should also take the time to understand how child-friendly their investment property is, as it may represent a marketing point for their investment property.

Injuries are the leading

5

cause of death in Australian children aged one to fourteen, accounting for nearly half of all deaths in this age group. More children die from injury than of cancer, asthma and infectious diseases combined.

Unintentional injuries make up around 95 per cent of all child injury deaths, with young children under the age of fi ve years most at risk of unintentional injury.

“The most common place for young children to be injured is in their own home, so ensuring the safety of our homes should be paramount for parents to keep their children safe,” Mike said.

“There are so many things that are precariously balanced, just waiting to be pulled down, knocked over, bumped into or climbed on.

“And as the child becomes more mobile and dexterous, they love to put things in their mouths and they don’t discriminate between toxics or poisons and lollies or biscuits.”

National Offi ces and that First National

the 2010 Number ONE offi ce in Queensland

First National Real Estate Nerang has received strong praise from well-respected animal welfare organization, Animal Welfare League, for its innovative Pet Friendly Search feature.

According to Mike Gray of First National Nerang, the network introduced the unique search feature to its member websites in an effort to help families with pets who are searching for rental properties, as well as to reduce the increasing number of animals being surrendered each year due to the lack of available pet friendly accommodation.

“The Pet Friendly Search feature has already attracted thousands of hits and with more than 4,000 cats and dogs being surrendered to AWL in South East Queensland alone last year, the AWL’s Queensland chapter were keen to recognise our efforts,” Mike said.

“With appropriate screening, tenants with good rental

histories who have pets with references often take great care of their rental properties. So we believe we can help keep families and their pets together while also serving the best interests of property investors.

“Of the animals that are abandoned yearly, 23 pc of cats and 30 pc of dogs were surrendered due to accommodation issues, largely as a result of the lack of pet friendly accommodation.

“So, AWL was very impressed with our commitment to work towards a solution for this major community problem.”

The President of peak body, Australian Companion Animal Council (ACAC) had also congratulated First National on its proactive initiative, after animal welfare groups called on landlords and real estate agents to relax their “no pet” policies for rental properties and enable people to keep their pets.

“As our social demographics change and increased high density living and changing lifestyles are becoming the norm, a lack of understanding by landlords is creating an environment in which pet ownership is becoming increasingly more diffi cult,” Dr Kersti Seksel, President, ACAC said.

“Pets are wonderful companions and provide signifi cant psychological and physiological benefi ts to owners.

“Australia has one of the highest levels of pet ownership per capita

in the world with almost two thirds of Australian households currently owning at least one pet. With pets being treated more like ‘one of the family’ than ever before, First National is to be congratulated for making it easier for people and pets to fi nd a home together.”

The Australian Veterinary Association President, Dr Mark Lawrie, echoed Dr Seksel, saying, ”We’ve fallen behind the United States and Europe in respect to the pet-friendliness of our living situations, although there are clear signs that is changing. We do need to see more inclusion of pets in our daily lives such as in cafes and on public transport as well as in our residential situations.

“It’s great to see First National taking the lead in Australia and having the vision to realise this search feature as a progressive pathway to take. We highly commend them for supporting those who value pets in their lives.”

First National have more than 100 ‘Pet Friendly’ property matches listed nationally on its national website www.fi rstnational.com.au
